1993 Bmw 740il Base Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
North Granby, Connecticut, United States
Up for bid is a very clean, 1 owner 1993 BMW 740il. This is BMW's flagship. It priced at over $53,000 in 1993. The car is truly amazing. It has brand new Nexen tires on BMW's honeycombed wheels. I have a set of 18" parallel chrome wheels for a bit extra. The engine starts and runs smooth and strong. The suspension is tight. I just had every rubber gasket underneath replaced, including the oil pan, transmission selector shaft, differential seals and more. There are absolutely zero leaks in this car. The propeller shaft carrier bearing is brand new. The undercarriage is completely rust free. In fact, there is no rust on the car anywhere! It is a one owner car, I am the second owner. The car has a phone, on board computer, CD changer in the trunk...it even has a tool kit. The battery is brand new.
Now...for the things it needs to bring it to immaculate condition. It needs a windshield, as a rock hit it and a small crack has started. The bottom of the passenger door has a small crease. The transmission hesitates when you shift from drive to reverse. Other than these things, I don't see anything else that needs to be fixed.
Now...why am I selling the car? I initially purchased this BMW for my daughter. She feels that the car is too big for her and wants a smaller car. Simply put...I bought the car for more than I have listed, put even more into it (for my daughter's safety) and now am selling it so I can get her a different [smaller] car.
I've attempted to describe this car as accurately as possible. This is sold "as is" with no warranty or guarantee.
This BMW can be an amazing ride for the bidder who wins. |

A look back on BMW, South Carolina and Southern manufacturing
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It has been 20 years since BMW broke ground on its Spartanburg, SC manufacturing facility, and while the automaker doesn't have any plans to mark the moment, economists and industry analysts have taken a closer look at the facility's impact on South Carolina, the South and global manufacturing. As of November, the Spartanburg plant's 7,000 employees cranked out 25,000 vehicles per month, and BMW has poured some $6 billion into the state since the plant opened in 1993. While that figure nearly matches the state's proposed budget for next year, some say there have been drawbacks.
To begin with, South Carolina provided BMW with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of public money and tax breaks with little public oversight, setting a precedent that would repeat itself with other corporations. The Detroit News reports that a Pew Center evaluation found 26 states didn't have a sufficient system for evaluating tax incentive performance. But BMW opened the door for a Southern manufacturing renaissance, with automakers from Mercedes-Benz to Hyundai and Volkswagen opening plants in the Deep South.
While states have raced to offer ever sweeter tax and cash incentives for big manufacturers, officials say BMW is proof the system can pay dividends. You can read the full piece here.
BMW i3 EV continues to shed camouflage
Thu, 11 Apr 2013As BMW gets closer to introducing the production version of its plug-in i3, we keep seeing the hatchback being tested with lessening degrees of design-obscuring camouflage. Last we heard, BMW is expecting to have the i3 ready by the end of this year, and the swirly, blue camo does little to hide its basic design in these latest spy shots.
We get our first clear look at almost everything above the wavy beltline including the silver roof edges and matching mirror caps, and it can't hide the dip in the beltline behind the B-pillar - matching what we've already seen on the i3 Coupe Concept unveiled at the LA Auto Show last year. Another change we notice is the lower portion of camo removed from the front fascia allowing us to see the air opening and the black, vertical inserts leading up to the fog light bezels. Judging by the "Hybrid Test Vehicle" stickers on the side of this prototype, we can only assume that this is the optional range-extended model.
Beverly Hills road rage incident ends with BMW driver ramming bicyclist
Fri, 26 Apr 2013An instance of road rage turned mortally dangerous in Beverly Hills, CA, recently, when an incident between a cyclist and a BMW driver took a scary turn in front of a rolling security camera.
LA Weekly reports that the person on the bicycle and the driver of the 2008 BMW 328i in the video had some kind of altercation, resulting in the cyclist punching the driver. The driver then followed the biker to an alley on the 9000 block of Wilshire Blvd and, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department, "Intentionally rammed the bicyclist with his vehicle pinning him to a metal rolling trash bin."
That the act was intentional is clearly evident in the video footage below, captured on a security camera. Police have published the video in the hopes of tracking down the driver, who is said to be in his mid-30s with dark hair, dark eyes and a thin build. BMW owners across the country can thank him - for reinforcing certain stereotypes - by helping to turn him in. Do your part, Bimmer Nation.
